The US Open has come and gone but table tennis isn't going anywhere. Calling all geeks and freaks! If you like needlepoint or playing in the deep end, check out the goodies below that are guaranteed to put the ping in your pong.

Table tennis isn't as preppy or stuffy as big court tennis, which means there's more laughter, oddities and fun to be had. It's a great way to let your guard down with family and friends. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your competitive edge. Use these toys to smack 'em down and show them who's boss.

* THE BEST PING PONG VICTORY TOYS *

1. Nice, Attractive Balls

Your paddle set is your bait. Lure your victims in with ping pong balls and paddles that are brightly colored and attention grabbing. Make everyone in the room want to play with you. My favorite sets are from HENRI BENDEL and TRINA TURK. And I love these candy-esque ping pong balls from GOGO.

2. Paddle Protection

Would you go...

Tour De Fashion is happening right now and you can literally GET ON BOARD.

Through Thursday, September 15th you can borrow a bicycle for 1 hour at any one of the Tour De Fashion bike tents. Each bike has been creatively and uniquely "styled" by a famous New York designer to celebrate Fashion Week and give you a new way to check out all the surrounding events and pop-up shops. Plus there's no charge! How insanely cool is that?

Grab a bike at one of these 2 locations: 

Station 1: The Fashion District – Broadway and 40th Street
Station 2: The Meatpacking District – 9th Avenue and 14th Street

Just present your drivers license and credit card to rent a bike for free. Ride around the Meatpacking District and check out everything that's going on...because there's definitely a lot of hustle and bustle in this area for Fashion Week. Just remember to return your bike at one of the 2 stations.

Beware of the Nicole Miller bike. It doesn't look like it...

I couldn't ask for a better spy! Here's what Vital Spy (of VitalJuice.com) found out about my NYC Fashion Week extra-curriculars:

What's VSX?

Well, Victoria's Secret decided it was high time to jump into the sportswear market and designed a sweat-worthy collection they're calling VSX.

VIEW THE VSX SEXY SPORT COLLECTION HERE

So far from what I've seen, I'm loving the padded sports bras. Who's going to say no to molded cups and padding for smooth shaping and lift? Not me.

Too Safe?

Gotta say, I'm feeling like Victoria's Secret played it safe with this line. I kind of wished they had called it VSXXX and made the line a naughtier. Or taken some inspiration from the Red Light District and all it's amazingness. I'm not saying it should be dirty or trashy-lacey, just more risque in a fun and wearable kind of way. Right now it seems like the only thing making the line sexy are the models. Just sayin' it would be nice to see something different for a change. And I had high sexy hopes for VSX. But that doesn't mean I won't snag one of their push up bras...just hope it delivers...

A movie about the historical impact of yoga on women...and women on yoga. Looks good, eh? I'm not sure I buy the "we're at a crisis" comment in the trailer but I do think yoga is major life saver. And I would definitely be lost without it.

So I'm gonna see this movie. Will you?

Serena Williams Wins US Open Match But Loses For Best Outfit

Serena Williams showed Bojana Jovanovski what winning looks like last night at the US Open. It was awesome. But Serena's Nike tennis dress--not so awesome. I love Nike just as much as the next girl, but the dress was underwhelming. Serena Williams is a sports fashion icon! The girl normally has style and pizazz. So what the heck? I wish Nike had designed something that expresses Serena's funky side more. Check out what I think Serena Williams should've worn for last night's match and be sure to enter my Tennis Couture Giveaway to win a new tennis outfit!
